Zam-Zammah is the name of a large cannon that stands on a plinth outside the Lahore Museum in Pakistan. In the novel Kim, by Rudyard Kipling, the "great green-bronze piece" is described as "that fire-breathing dragon" sitting "on her brick platform opposite the old Ajaib-Gher — the Wonder House, as the natives call the Lahore Museum". The present museum, having been opened only in 1894, is not the one described by Kipling: both the museum and the gun have moved several hundred yards from the original position that they occupy in the novel.
